Aerosol generator having heater arranged to vaporize fluid in fluid passage between bonded layers of laminate

A method of making an aerosol generator, comprising:

• arranging a mandrel between opposed layers of a laminate;
• bonding the opposed layers together;
• and
• forming a fluid passage by removing the mandrel,
• wherein the aerosol generator comprises:
• a laminate body having the fluid passage located between the opposed layers of the laminate which are bonded together;
• a heater arranged to heat liquid in the fluid passage into a gaseous state;
• and
• a fluid supply arranged to provide a fluid to the fluid passage.

An aerosol generator, comprising:

• a laminate having a fluid passage therein located between opposed layers of the laminate which are bonded together, the fluid passage having a width which is less than a width of the opposed layers;
• a heater arranged to heat liquid in the fluid passage into a gaseous state;
• and
• a fluid supply arranged to provide a fluid to the fluid passage.

An aerosol generator, comprising:

• a laminate having a fluid passage therein located between opposed layers of the laminate which are bonded together, the opposed layers having bonded surfaces which are closer together than are surfaces of the opposed layers defining the fluid passage;
• a heater arranged to heat liquid in the fluid passage into a gaseous state;
• and
• a fluid supply arranged to provide a fluid to the fluid passage.

An aerosol generator, comprising:
